33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the
Lord
hath heard that I
was
a
hated
, he hath therefore given me this
son

a
Simeon
and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
D&C 128: 24
.
24 Behold, the great
a
day
of the Lord is at hand; and who can
b
abide
the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a
c
refiner
’s
d
fire
, and like fuller’s soap; and he shall sit as a
e
refiner
and purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of
f
Levi
, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an
g
offering
in righteousness. Let us, therefore, as a church and a people, and as Latter-day Saints, offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness; and let us present in his holy temple, when it is finished, a book containing the
h
records
of our dead, which shall be worthy of all acceptation.
b
Deut. 33: 8 (8-11)

Let
thy Thummim and thy
b

be
with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah,
and with
whom thou didst
c
strive
at the waters of
d
Meribah

Upon
you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I
a
confer
the
b
Priesthood
of Aaron, which holds the
c
keys
of the ministering of
d
angels
, and of the gospel of
e
repentance
, and of
f
baptism
by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of
g
Levi
do offer again an offering unto the Lord in
h
righteousness
.
